A: Even if you have a realtor and/or even if you are using an approved Agreement of Sale form, you should have a lawyer “interpret” the Agreement for you, to make sure you understand what it says and to make sure your rights are protected.

Most people who have problems with the purchase and/or sale of a home did not have a lawyer review the Agreement of Sale before signing it, or they did not have a lawyer help them throughout the “process” or they did not have representation at the time of settlement.
